Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a prominent American dental support organization (DSO) that provides comprehensive business and administrative support services to a vast network of independently owned and operated dental practices across the United States. Founded in 1998, Aspen Dental's mission is to make quality Dental care more accessible and affordable for a wider range of individuals, particularly those who may not have a regular dental provider or face financial barriers to care. While individual Aspen Dental-branded practices are clinically autonomous and owned by licensed dentists, Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI) offers essential non-clinical support. This includes marketing, operations, training, and technological resources, allowing dentists to focus primarily on patient care. This DSO model helps streamline administrative tasks, improve efficiency, and leverage collective buying power for equipment and materials, which can contribute to more affordable services for patients. Aspen Dental offers a wide array of dental services, addressing both routine and urgent Oral health needs. These services typically include: General Dentistry: Comprehensive exams, X-rays, cleanings, fillings, and oral cancer screenings. Emergency dental Care: Prompt attention for severe toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, knocked-out teeth, and bleeding/swollen gums. Dentures: A variety of full and partial denture options, with on-site labs for quick repairs and adjustments, and a money-back guarantee. Dental implants: Solutions for missing teeth, including single implants and full arch restorations. Orthodontics: Offering Motto™ Clear aligners for teeth straightening. Periodontal Care: Treatment for gum disease. Oral Surgery: Including extractions. Aspen Dental is known for its commitment to patient accessibility, offering flexible payment solutions, working with most insurance providers, and providing a clear, detailed estimate of treatment costs. They also offer the Aspen Dental Savings Plan, a membership program providing discounts on services for patients without traditional dental insurance. Furthermore, Aspen Dental actively engages in community initiatives, such as the "Healthy Mouth Movement," which provides free dental care to U.S. veterans and underserved populations. The organization has also invested significantly in clinician development through programs like their Practice Ownership Program, which empowers dentists to become business owners with integrated support.
